She’s Pregnant

Even if you used protection, she could be pregnant. We know that an unexpected pregnancy can be difficult for guys too. It is only natural to be struggling with your own fears. Our doors are open for you to meet with an advocate any time. It’s confidential so we won’t share our discussions unless you give permission to.

How you handle things next will tell a lot about your character. Here are some TIPS that can help you get through your NEXT STEPS.

Do

Do Research – We commend you for taking the initiative to read this page. Use us as a resource. Know your options and checkout the Fatherhood Initiative too.

Discuss It Together – Be honest and listen to each other without interrupting. Listen to how she is feeling, but then tell her how YOU are feeling, too!

Be Honest – Decide together how will you tell the people closest to you. Keeping secrets will only add stress to your situation.

Don’t

Don’t Bail – You are in this together already. No matter the outcome, you will need each other for support.

Don’t Pressure Her – You may not come to terms with this at the same time. You may not want the same option, but be respectful during the process.
